Review summary

Reviews show a split: many call the app good/very good and useful for keeping in touch with family, indicating basic SMS functionality is solid. However, a large portion complain about intrusive ads and pop-ups that disrupt usage. Several reviews worry the app is unwanted bloatware on their device, with some labeling it a scam or overpriced. A few note missing features or a desire for a pure SMS experience. Overall sentiment is mixed, with ads as the dominant negative theme.
